| Branch | Category 1 | Category 2 | Category 3 | Category 4 | Category 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CSE | 950 | 3,500 | 19,000 | 22,000 | 25,500 |

| Biotechnology | 16,000 | 34,000 | 51,000 | 60,000 | 70,000 |
CSE recorded the highest closing marks across both categories, showing strong demand. Mechanical and Biotech saw moderately lower cutoffs, with reserved category ranges consistently 20–40 marks lower.
| Branch | General Closing Marks | Reserved (SC/ST/OBC) |
|---|---|---|
| CSE | 400 | 350-380 |
| Mechanical | 350 | 300-330 |
| Biotech | 320 | 280-310 |
The Vellore MBA program shortlisted candidates with CAT percentiles ranging from 60 to 70, depending on the category. General category cutoffs were highest at 70 percentile, with proportionate reductions for OBC and SC/ST applicants.
| Category | CAT Percentile | XAT / MAT Equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| General | 70 | XAT 70 / MAT 80 |
| OBC | 65 | XAT 65 / MAT 75 |
| SC/ST | 60 | XAT 60 / MAT 70 |
VIT Vellore’s B.Tech 2025 cutoffs show Category 1 seats filling fastest for high-demand branches like CSE, AI/ML, and DS, driven by a 15% increase in applicants. Lower-demand branches such as Mechanical and Civil saw higher closing ranks, while Biotech extended to 51,000 in later rounds due to leftover seats.
| Branch | Cat 1 | Cat 2 | Cat 3 | Cat 4 | Cat 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) | 950 | 3,500 | 19,000 | 22,000 | 25,500 |

VIT Vellore’s 2025 round-wise cutoffs showed steady rank movement as students upgraded branches across each phase. CSE Category 1 rose from 2,900 to 3,500, while ECE Category 2 increased from 20,000 to 24,000 by Round 4.
| Round | CSE – Category 1 (Closing Rank) | ECE – Category 2 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2,900 | 20,000 |
| 2 | 3,200 | 22,000 |
| 3 | 3,400 | 23,500 |
| 4 | 3,500 | 24,000 |
VIT Vellore’s CSE cutoff has become tougher each year, improving from 1,800 in 2021 to about 950 in 2025. This means students now need higher marks (100–113+) out of 125 to secure a Category 1 seat.
| Year | CSE Category 1 Closing Rank | Marks Equivalent (Out of 125) |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 950 | 113+ |
| 2024 | 1,000 | 110–113 |
| 2023 | 1,200 | 108–112 |
| 2022 | 1,500 | 105–110 |
| 2021 | 1,800 | 100–108 |
VIT Vellore MBA NMAT by GMAC cutoff 2023 has been released for Round 1. VIT Vellore NMAT by GMAC Cutoff 2023 for MBA admission is listed below.
| Course | Closing Percentile |

| MBA | 85 |
| MBA in General Management | 85 |
VIT has multiple counseling rounds where students can upgrade their branch or fee category. Usually, cutoffs increase slightly in later rounds because top-rank students move to better branches, freeing up seats. For example, in 2025, CSE Category 1 started at rank 2,900 in Round 1 and reached 3,500 by Round 4. Similarly, ECE Category 2 moved from rank 20,000 to 24,000. So, if you don’t get your preferred branch in the first round, keep participating in all rounds to get a better chance of upgrading.
Yes, Biotechnology has moderate cutoffs. In Category 1, it closed at rank 16,000, while CSE closed at 950. You need about 74–92 marks out of 125 to get in. Biotechnology is easier than CSE, AI/ML, Data Science, and ECE, but a bit harder than Mechanical or Civil Engineering. It’s a good choice if you are interested in life sciences and engineering. Fees are the same as other B.Tech branches, so it gives good value for money while offering a balanced chance of admission.
For M.Tech CSE through VITMEE, General category students need around 400 marks, while reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC) need 350–380 marks. Mechanical Engineering has lower cutoffs: 350 marks for General and 300–330 for reserved categories. Biotechnology is the easiest, needing 320 marks for General and 280–310 for reserved. You can also use GATE scores instead of VITMEE marks for M.Tech admission. So, depending on your branch and category, the marks needed vary, with CSE being the toughest and Biotechnology the easiest.
Yes, CSE cutoffs have become much tougher. In 2021, Category 1 CSE closed at rank 1,800 with 100–108 marks. By 2025, it improved to rank 950 with 113+ marks. This shows that competition is increasing every year. Students now need to score much higher marks to get CSE in top categories. The trend suggests that in 2026, cutoffs may rise again, so scoring well in VITEEE is very important if you want CSE at VIT Vellore.
For MBA at VIT Vellore, General category students need 70 percentile in CAT, OBC students need 65 percentile, and SC/ST students need 60 percentile. If you haven’t taken CAT, you can also use XAT or MAT scores. For XAT, General category needs 70 percentile, and for MAT, 80 percentile. These cutoffs are moderate, so students with decent entrance exam scores and good academic records have a good chance of getting admission. VIT makes MBA accessible for many students with fair exam performance.
VIT has 5 fee categories. Category 1 has the lowest fees but is for students with the best ranks. As the category number goes up (2, 3, 4, 5), fees increase, but it becomes easier to get admission because the cutoff rank is higher. For example, CSE Category 1 needs a rank under 950, while Category 5 accepts up to rank 25,500. If you don’t get a lower category seat, you can choose a higher category during counseling. This system ensures most students can get admission, just at different fee levels.
Mechanical Engineering is easier to get compared to CSE or ECE. In Category 1 (lowest fees), the closing rank in 2025 was around 42,000, and it’s expected to be similar in 2026. You need about 62–82 marks out of 125 to get in. Even in Category 5 (highest fee), seats close around rank 78,000. So, if you score 65–70 marks, you have a good chance of admission, and affordable fee options are available in lower categories. Mechanical is a good choice if your VITEEE marks are moderate.
For ECE in Category 1 (lowest fees), you need 83–102 marks out of 125, which usually gives a rank under 8,000. If you choose Category 2 (slightly higher fees), you can get ECE with a rank up to 14,000. ECE is easier than CSE or AI/ML, so even if you score 80+ marks, you still have a good chance to get admission.
AI/ML is actually a bit easier than CSE. In 2025, AI/ML Category 1 closed at rank 2,800, while CSE closed at 950. You need around 94–112 marks out of 125 for AI/ML. Both branches are competitive, but CSE is the toughest to get. If you score 90–95 marks, your chances of getting AI/ML are better than CSE. So, if your marks are slightly lower than top CSE scorers, AI/ML is a good option to aim for.
If you want Computer Science (CSE) in Category 1 (lowest fees), you need a rank below 950 in VITEEE. This usually means scoring around 113 or more out of 125. For higher-fee categories like 2 or 3, you can still get CSE with ranks up to 19,000. Cutoffs usually go a little higher each year, so for 2026, try to score at least 92+ marks to be safe for top categories. Remember, lower the category number, tougher the cutoff but lower the fee.
